Best Answer

A stall occurs when the cycle of an engine is slowed down temporarily, or more commonly, to a complete stop. In terms of automobiles, a stall can happen with both manual and automatic transmissions. In the common case of a person releasing the clutch to quickly, a large load is applied to the engine from the crankshaft when the clutch is released. The transmission must rotate in the same direction and at relatively the same speed in order to reduce the load, thus keeping the engine running.
